A recent introduction found in a garden in Haverfordwest. Very tall strong stems often up to 2m (7') bearing huge heads of flowers during the autumn months when colour is at a premium and the gardens are getting a little dull. Excellent for giving height to a border. A plant that is typical of the cottage garden.
